Destructoid, is it just me, or are there way too many MMOs launching next month than there should be?
I’ve been looking over the calendar, and three already have struck me as big MMOs all trying to gain a large, fledgling community at the same time while competing with other big June releases. It feels a bit overwhelming if I’m honest.
To start, we haveDune: Awakening,which will have delayed early access starting June 5. It recently had a small beta that left many players concerned about the upcomingrelease, but it’s still a big MMO based on a large IP that’s launching at the same time the Switch 2 andDeltarunecome out.
Following that, we have the indie MMOBitcraft, which looks like if you took a basic survival crafting game and gave itRunescape-like elements with the freedom ofMinecraftwhere players can build out towns and empires across the continent with their friends or clans.
Then we haveChrono Odyssey, an MMORPG that caught me off guard, and that is testing its world for new players next month with a CBT. It looks fairly breathtaking, even if I don’t have a clue what it’s about.
Not to mention, we also havePalia, The Elder Scrolls Onlineand other MMOs constantly churning out updates, new quests, it feels a bit overwhelming to have all these big time sinks launch at the same time, and I feel like I’m missing a couple smaller ones that I’ll likely remember the moment I publish this article.
Doesn’t it feel like a bit too much? Maybe the MMOs will pull aNew Worldand flop after the first month, but it does all feel a bit overwhelming as an MMO fan trying to decide what I want to invest in. I guess I’ll do what I usually do and wait to see which game is best designed for blacksmithing. I’m all about making those profits selling crafted gear, after all!
